291. New iGUIDE Lead Magnet Generates Real-Time Leads for Real Estate Professionals

5/2/2024
New iGUIDE Lead Magnet Generates Real-Time Leads for Real Estate Professionals The exclusive product feature lets buyers viewing iGUIDE’s 3D Virtual Tours request additional property details providing agents with instant leads. WATERLOO, Ontario, Tusday, April 30, 2024 – Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering 3D virtual tours and property data, today introduced iGUIDE Lead Magnet—an exclusive product feature designed to help real estate agents capture leads and get market feedback in real-time as prospective buyers view iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour property listings. iGUIDE Lead Magnet is an interactive pop-up element that appears in the iGUIDE Viewer as potential buyers explore real estate listings. The feature allows buyers to request more details by providing their contact information in exchange for receiving access to additional visuals via an email or SMS from the listing agent. The agent now can engage with the qualified lead as they choose. "This new product feature is about forging relationships in real estate,” said Alexander Likholyot, the CEO and co-founder of Planitar Inc. “Even after Covid-19, industrywide adoption of 3D tours in real estate has barely crossed into double digits, as listing agents haven’t been able to capture feedback about a property or start a conversation with potential buyers within a 3D tour. The new iGUIDE Lead Magnet solves both problems by letting buyers share their contact information to get access to additional property visuals delivered in the detailed version of iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour while encouraging buyers to ask questions and provide feedback about the listing. This exchange gives agents a way to contact and engage with qualified, interested buyers and connect with potential future listing prospects.” In addition to generating real-time leads 24/7, iGUIDE Lead Magnet empowers buyers to provide valuable feedback directly on the virtual listings, offering agents insights they can share with sellers. Real estate professionals have the flexibility to streamline their communication process by automatically responding to leads via email or SMS, saving time while still delivering personalized responses tailored to each potential buyer's inquiries. Here’s how it works: 1. A pop-up form appears in the iGUIDE Viewer after a prospective buyer explores the listing. 2. A prospective buyer can elect to provide their contact information for access to additional property visuals delivered via the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour. 3. The listing agent receives an alert, either by text or email, with the prospective buyer’s contact information. If configured, an automatic email is sent at the same time to the prospective buyer with the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour link. 4. The agent can choose to send an automatic or custom response, providing the buyer with the detailed iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour and engaging them into a conversation or arranging for a Virtual Showing if a curated agent-guided iGUIDE experience is desired. Key features and benefits of iGUIDE Lead Magnet include: 1. Buyer lead data is sent in real-time via email notification or SMS. 2. Prospective buyers are encouraged to provide valuable feedback that the listing agent can share with the sellers. 3. Minimal effort is required by an agent to set up and maintain while retaining control over listing visuals, as well as client communications. 4. iGUIDE Lead Magnet takes advantage of the unique way iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours can hide and show visuals and/or rooms creating two unique iGUIDE versions. 5. There is no additional cost above the iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tour. The exclusive, new product feature is available on all iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours (Instant, Standard & Premium). 6.

290. BMO Accelerates Branch Transformation at More Than 500 Locations Nationwide Using Matterport Digital Twins | #mttr

5/2/2024
BMO Accelerates Branch Transformation at More Than 500 Locations Nationwide Using Matterport Digital Twins BMO, North America’s eighth largest bank by assets, drives sustainability and efficiencies on branch rebranding and design management using Matterport’s digital twin platform SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) announced that BMO (NYSE: BMO), the eighth largest bank in North America by assets, has leveraged Matterport’s digital twin platform to streamline site visits across its physical footprint for multiple areas of the bank. BMO provides a broad range of personal and commercial banking, wealth management, global markets, and investment banking products and services to 13 million customers. In December 2021, BMO announced its plans to acquire Bank of the West (BOTW). Part of that process included transforming 503 BOTW retail branches to BMO, each of which required rebranding and technology updates. With a need to review each of the locations to create plans for rebranding and other work, BMO utilized Matterport’s Capture Services, the company’s global network of expert capture technicians, to swiftly generate 3D digital twins of each space, including accurate floor plans. In three months, BMO digitally captured all 503 BOTW branches, saving costs for travel and site visits, and approximately 6,000 hours of equivalent survey work. Previously, the team responsible for this type of work relied on multiple on-site visits to each location to scope the design and technology updates required to bring the interior of the branch to comply with BMO brand standards. Critical documentation like floor plans was often missing from record drawings, creating an early design hurdle. BMO also leveraged Matterport’s exportable schematic floor plans to create a full complement of assets in a fraction of time, further reducing site visits. “BMO’s Digital First model is critical to how we do business. That’s why engaging Matterport was so important for this work. It enabled us to create digital twins that not only significantly reduced branch disruptions but also saved time and money,” said Lisa Near, BOTW Program Manager, North American Physical Channels, BMO. “Our work with BMO is a great demonstration of the scale and precision our customers can expect from Matterport,” said Jay Remley, Chief Revenue Officer, Matterport. “Our global network of capture professionals enables organizations just about anywhere in the world to manage the transition and operations of property acquisitions more seamlessly, helping brands like BMO get up and running faster, with a fraction of the time and resources.” Since the BOTW project, the platform has seen widespread demand across multiple departments in BMO. As BMO takes on over 50 projects each year across the US, the bank expects to continue reducing branch visits while saving significant time, money, and carbon emissions with Matterport’s end-to-end solutions. Matterport is leading the digitization of the built world, helping customers better access, understand and utilize properties through its next-generation 3D digital twin.

289. Why CoStar planned acquisition of Matterport is Good News for Competitors | #mttr #csgp

5/1/2024
Why CoStar planned acquisition of Matterport is Good News for Competitors Commentary and Analysis by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network | WGAN-TV CoStar’s planned acquisition of Matterport this year is great news for all 3D/360 digital twin/virtual Tour platforms and software. (And, by extension, real estate photographers that offer virtual tours.) This may seem counterintuitive. CoStar Founder and CEO Andy Florance said during the CoStar earnings call Tuesday (23 April 2024) that he intends to make Matterport ubiquitous among all CoStar marketplace brands including: CoStar, LoopNet, Apartments.com, Homes.com and Ten-X. So, if Matterport becomes ubiquitous among all CoStar brands, how does this help competitors? The ways Matterport becoming ubiquitous, is key to understanding why Matterport competitors will also succeed faster too. For example: 1. CoStar Competitors Will Not Advertise CoStar: In its 10+ years, Matterport has always required its logo in each tour. While CoStar should offer a white-label version of Matterport (no Matterport branding) to show competitors that it welcomes their use of Matterport, it is more likely that the Matterport branding will morph into “Matterport - a CoStar Company” … That’s what big companies do. Google “box of Oreo cookies” to see examples of what’s likely coming soon to Matterport digital twins. If that happens, CoStar competitors will likely block Matterport digital twins from being used on their marketplace and encourage the use of all other 3D/360 digital twin platforms. Can you imagine Zillow allowing CoStar branding on its platform? Even if it did, Zillow likely would “move-up” other listings in Zillow search. Zillow already does this with its Zillow 3D Home tours. 2. More Free Matterport Digital Twin Captures: CoStar will likely include more Matterport digital twins captured for free in their top tier agent/broker marketing packages – if not all packages. For example, presently, Apartments.com, a CoStar company, includes Matterport digital twin capture in 3 of 4 of the Apartments.com ad packages. (LoopNet has similar style agent/broker advertising packages.) CoStar will likely add more Matterport capture services because it can make more money from agents and brokers buying its ad packages than selling Matterport digital twins as a standalone product to its various CoStar marketplace brands’ clients. (That’s Phase 1). CoStar can make more money by increasing the number of listing views and the time spent viewing a listing. Integrating Matterport Capture Services and VHT Studios (a Subsidiary of Matterport) Digital Pro package into all CoStar brands’ marketing packages will take time. That’s Phase 2. “We intend to make a much greater commitment to capturing 3D digital twins,” said Florance during the CoStar first quarter 2024 earnings call. Additionally, CoStar likely has hundreds of employees – not independent contractors – that do Matterport scanning (and other digital property marketing listing services). CoStar competitors will need to offer a similar 3D/360 digital twin option. It’s likely they will seek out other 3D/360 platforms to either buy or develop a co-marketing strategy. For example, Zillow’s ShowingTime+ Listing Showcase offers a Zillow 3D Home tour in its packages. According to a marketing video on the ShowingTime+ website: “Listing Showcase can flex with your business needs like per-listing purchase options and the choice to use your own photographer or book one through ShowingTime+ Listing Media Services for a turnkey media experience. Your AI powered Showcase listing will feature high res photography, room-by-room organization, a virtual tour and an interactive floor plan that connects the photography to the location in the home.” In December 2022, Zillow acquired VRX Media to create a national photographer network, elevating listing media through ShowingTime+ brand. In August 2023, Zillow acquired Aryeo for its network of real estate...

286. What CoStar's Acquisition of Matterport Means forReal Estate Photographers | #mttr #csgp

4/23/2024
How CoStar Acquiring Matterport Affects Real Estate Photographers that Offer Matterport Commentary and analysis by: Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network and WGAN-TV Atlanta, Georgia If you are like most of the 18,000+ monthly readers of the We Get Around Network Forum — a real estate photographer that offers Matterport to help sell, lease or rent residential and commercial real estate — you are likely wondering if the news Monday (April 22, 2024) that Matterport has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by CoStar Group is good news for you. Congratulations. You won the lottery. For real estate photographers that offer Matterport, the symbiotic relationship - like bees and flowers - of Matterport and CoStar will result in: 1. Increased demand for Matterport digital twins from CoStar clients not presently using Matterport 2. Increased demand for Matterport digital twins from CoStar clients using Matterport 3. Increase demand for Matterport digital twins from non-CoStar clients 4. Higher Add On prices for Matterport digital twins as we know them today 5. leverage Matterport’s spatial data 6. More demand for professional images, video and aerial services 7. More demand for related digital marketing services such as 3D/360/2D virtual staging 8. More Matterport Partners offering integrations for residential and commercial real estate 9. Matterport seamless integrations among Matterport, CoStar brands and enterprise clients CoStar excels at creating, acquiring and growing property marketplaces for selling, leasing, renting and managing residential and commercial real estate. And, as a result of being a very big client of Matterport for nearly 10 years — CoStar’s research shows that its marketplace listings with Matterport digital twins increases time spent viewing listings. That likely translates to: 1. Sellers using Matterport virtual tours get more offers, sooner resulting in more money 2. Real Estate agents and brokers win more and bigger premium listings 3. Buyers, lessors and renters have more confidence making decisions We Get Around Network Forum readers likely have used these talking points for years to help sell Matterport as an Add On for marketing and managing properties. According to the CoStar media release on Monday, “CoStar Group operates some of the most effective and widely recognized real estate information solutions and online property marketplaces in the world including Apartments.com, LoopNet, CoStar, and Homes.com, all of which feature Matterport’s 3D virtual tours. CoStar Group was one of the first adopters of Matterport’s technology, and currently has almost 300,000 Matterport digital twins available in the CoStar information product and online property marketplaces. Advertisers on CoStar Group marketplaces clearly recognize the value of Matterport virtual tours. In March 2024, there were over 7.4 million views of Matterport 3D Tours on Apartments.com, with consumers spending 20% more time viewing an apartment listing when Matterports were available. CoStar Group intends to utilize Matterports in a similar fashion on Homes.com to further enhance the most comprehensive agent, seller and buyer friendly residential portal on the market.” CoStar — a company that did 16 times gross revenue ($2.46 billion) versus Matterport’s gross revenue ($157.7 million) in 2023 — has the scale to aggressively market Matterport digital twins. Costar will likely, aggressively: 1. feature Matterport — and Matterport AI powered features — in all its marketplace listings 2. offer Matterport as an Add On 3. Include in its marketing bundles, Matterport’s Capture Services or the all-in-one offering from its VHT Studios subsidiary 4.

Matterport also produces a line of innovative 3D capture devices, including the company’s flagship LiDAR-based Pro3 camera which is capable of high-precision indoor and outdoor capture. At the center of the solution is Cortex, a powerful artificial intelligence software engine that automatically generates the 3D digital twin and virtual tour while providing property insights like detailed property dimensions, room layouts, and more. Matterport's 3D technology is utilized in nearly every sector of real estate, spanning residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, and industrial spaces, among others. Over the years, Matterport has curated what is considered the largest and most precise collection of spatial property data worldwide, with over 12 million spaces captured in 177 countries, and representing more than 38 billion square feet of digital property under management. Contributing to this growth, Matterport has established a global network of several thousand photographers, capture services technicians, and service partners producing hundreds of thousands of new 3D digital twins for properties each month. CoStar Group operates some of the most effective and widely recognized real estate information solutions and online property marketplaces in the world including Apartments.com, LoopNet, CoStar, and Homes.com, all of which feature Matterport’s 3D virtual tours. CoStar Group was one of the first adopters of Matterport’s technology, and currently has almost 300,000 Matterport digital twins available in the CoStar information product and online property marketplaces. Advertisers on CoStar Group marketplaces clearly recognize the value of Matterport virtual tours. In March 2024, there were over 7.4 million views of Matterport 3D Tours on Apartments.com, with consumers spending 20% more time viewing an apartment listing when Matterports were available. CoStar Group intends to utilize Matterport in a similar fashion on Homes.com to further enhance the most comprehensive agent, seller and buyer friendly residential portal on the market. “CoStar Group and Matterport have nearly identical mission statements of digitizing the world’s real estate. I look forward to welcoming Matterport to the CoStar Group family and believe that we will be stronger together, in pursuit of our common mission,” said Andy Florance, Founder and CEO of CoStar Group. “The world has changed and today a Matterport is the new open house or property tour.

Matterport Surpasses One Million Subscribers, Extending Its Industry Leadership in Digital Twin Technology with Compelling SaaS Growth With 75x subscriber growth in just 5 years, the milestone reflects the company’s 3D capture ubiquity and SaaS-driven digital twin platform strategy SUNNYVALE, California, Tuesday, April 2, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), a pioneering leader in the digital twin and 3D capture space, proudly announces a monumental achievement in its company history, reaching one million subscribers to its digital twin cloud platform. This significant milestone underscores Matterport's unwavering commitment to innovation and its strategic Capture Ubiquity initiative, which has propelled the company into a new era of growth and success. In 2019, Matterport embarked on a bold journey to democratize 3D capture technology for everyone. By introducing affordable subscription tiers, supporting low-cost capture devices and smartphones, and launching the advanced Pro3 camera, Matterport has made 3D capture accessible to a broad audience. This approach has not only disrupted the industry but has also resulted in an impressive 75x subscriber growth in just five years, growing from 13,000 subscribers in late 2018 to over one million today. A Testament to Matterport’s SaaS Strategy This achievement is a testament to Matterport's market leadership in the 3D capture and digital twin industry. By significantly expanding its user base, Matterport has accelerated its subscription revenue growth and set the stage to achieve cash flow break-even from operations this year, enhancing the company's financial resilience and growth potential. The company’s SaaS-first approach has driven subscription revenue to 60% of total revenue, from less than 50% from just one year ago. The increase in subscribers correlates with heightened user engagement and adoption rates, further driving the company's revenue through subscription renewals, upsells, and the introduction of new services, such as Matterport’s Property Intelligence, that are tailored to the needs of a growing and diverse customer base. Fostering Innovation and Community Engagement Matterport's success is deeply rooted in its commitment to innovation and community engagement. The Capture Ubiquity strategy not only expanded the technology's accessibility but also fostered a thriving community of users who are integral to the ecosystem's growth. This user-centric approach has led to increased engagement, with users frequently utilizing the platform for various applications, from Property Marketing to Facilities Management, Design and Construction and beyond, further solidifying Matterport's position as a critical tool for numerous uses and industries. Continued Growth and Expansion Driven by AI-Powered Offerings Looking forward, Matterport believes that it is poised for continued growth and expansion as a result of deepened investments in the next-generation of its digital twins. In February, the company launched a collection of AI-powered features as part of its inaugural Winter 2024 Release: Automating the Future, transforming how people and businesses can extract data from properties. The datafication of built environments is laying the foundation for the next decade of advancements in property insights, enabling property stakeholders of all kinds – from buyers, sellers, and agents, to designers, builders and property managers – to maximize the value of any space. The acceleration of this work has also paved the way for the company’s upcoming generative AI solutions leveraging the organization’s experience in machine learning and data science to automatically reimagine and redesign a space within the digital twin. Initial features are expected to be available in beta with select customers later this year. A Celebration of Achievement and a Look to the Future Matterport celebrates this milestone with a company-wide toast to all of its employees, a nod to the...

280. Kikkoman Leverages Matterport's Digital Twin Platform To Digitize Historic Soy Sauce Production Line

3/27/2024
SUNNYVALE, California, Tuesday, March 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), announced that Kikkoman Corporation, the world’s leading soy sauce producer, has used Matterport's Digital Twin Platform to create a digital twin of the company’s historic Goyogura soy sauce brewery. Originally established in 1939 as a dedicated facility supplying soy sauce to the Imperial Household Agency of Japan, the Goyogura brewery produces some of Kikkoman’s premium series of soy sauces, including the ‘Goyogura Shoyu’ and the D2C exclusive brand, 'Kikkoman Honten'. Although the brewery was moved to the current location in 2011 due to its age, it is still constructed with original elements of the historic facility like wooden barrels, stone walls, and gates, continuing to preserve its traditional brewing methods to supply the Imperial Household Agency with its world-renowned soy sauces. Using Matterport’s Property Marketing solution, Kikkoman aims to offer factory tours to consumers so that it can be shared with the world. Enriched with notes, guides and videos, the digital twin serves as an educational resource for understanding and preserving the traditions and culture of soy sauce production. The company is also considering Matterport’s Facilities Management solution for maintenance, repairs and measuring the space to reduce equipment management costs and time on site. By minimizing the need for personnel to physically enter and inspect the facility, the company would be able to save time and effort for hygiene management. The Goyogura brewery was captured quickly with Matterport’s Capture Services and the Pro3, minimizing disruption to the facility's operations and ensuring low-impact on the historic equipment. Equipped with lidar and RGB sensors, Matterport’s Pro3 produces both photo-realistic 3D tours and photos as well as detailed point cloud data that can be used for BIM (.ifc, .rvt) and CAD (.dwg) files. “As part of the branding of the ‘Goyogura Shoyu’ and the ‘Kikkoman Honten’ series, we believed that allowing customers to see the traditional brewing methods of the production site would create interest in the craftsmanship of our brewing process,” said Kaname Tsuji, Manager of the EC Strategy Group, Products Management Division. “Having seen the accuracy and smoothness of the technology, we considered Matterport capable of conveying the reality of the Goyogura brewery, providing access to areas of the facility which visitors cannot step in. We hope that through this special access, including views of the interior of our cedar brewing barrels, which are usually seen through glass, we will delight our customers as part of our exhibitions and communication on the D2C exclusive 'Kikkoman Honten'.” “We are honored that Kikkoman, a symbol of Japanese food culture, is using our services,” said Howard Xiao, President and Operating Officer of Matterport Japan K.K. “We hope that by utilizing Matterport, the charm and craftsmanship of traditional soy sauce production will be passed on to generations to come, not only in Japan but also overseas. We also look forward to supporting Kikkoman’s consideration of uses in the future, such as our Facilities Management solutions, using the power of our digital twin platform as part of this journey.” The 'Goyogura Shoyu Brewery' is part of Matterport Japan’s 'Connecting Culture and the Future with Digital Twins' project, which aims to digitize and widely share Japan's cultural properties and historical buildings such as Aso Shrine, Tenzan Sake Brewery and others.

(Nasdaq: MTTR) announced today that Resi, the UK’s leading home extension company, has made Matterport’s Pro3 and Digital Twin Platform its technology of choice for surveying homes. Founded in 2016 with the vision of opening up fast, affordable, high-quality architectural services for every UK home, Resi is the UK’s leading home extension company having completed more than 7,000 projects to date. In design and construction, inaccurate or incomplete documentation is responsible for an estimated 48% of rework, making accurate measurements vital to set a project up for success.1 To improve accuracy, productivity and quality, Resi explored several laser scanning providers, determining Matterport’s Pro3 was its preferred surveying solution due to its scalability and price. “When we started exploring Matterport as a solution, we encountered a lot of skepticism as to whether the accuracy would stand up to traditional laser scanners. We did significant due diligence comparing measurements against our existing equipment, and we found it delivers the accuracy we need,” said Lisa Westmacott, Special Projects Lead, Resi. “We’re now in our customer's homes for less time (which is great for them!) and we spend less time in the processing phase, it’s a win-win. Our aim is to enable all homeowners to extend their homes easily, and Matterport helps us to do just that.” Compared to traditional laser scanners, Resi has reduced average survey time by 25% with Matterport, while reducing 85% of the hardware costs. In addition to reducing time on task surveying, the significantly faster processing time has enabled Resi team members to complete more jobs in less time, amounting to the equivalent of an extra day onsite per week as a result of these productivity gains. “The Pro3 Camera was designed from the ground up to provide our design and construction customers with a capture solution for faster, more reliable job completion, along with powerful new AI features to automate tedious precision measurement tasks,” said Jay Remley, Chief Revenue Officer, Matterport. “Resi has quickly become one of the largest names in home extensions and we’re proud to help them continue that success with the speed and accuracy of the Pro3 and the power of our intelligent Digital Twins.” Matterport’s digital twins deliver unmatched 3D visual clarity for design and construction professionals, helping streamline project management across every phase of the building lifecycle.

Real estate is the largest asset class in the world, and yet in the era of digital transformation and artificial intelligence, the majority of the world’s building stock remains offline and underutilized.

As the company continues to roll out innovative solutions for Property Marketing, Design & Construction, and Facilities Management, Matterport is leveraging this building data to infuse each of its solutions with intelligent, automated features that simplify the process of designing, building, managing or marketing a property.
